    Creator & Social Media Statistics

    A growing library of free, sourced statistics on the creator economy, social platforms, content marketing and TikTok. Every figure links straight to its primary report — a peer-reviewed paper, an industry benchmark, a company filing or a public dataset — so you can verify the number before you cite it.

    Pages are aimed at journalists writing on deadline, analysts building a market model, and creators trying to size an opportunity. Where it makes sense, we pair the third-party benchmarks with our own live trending data, refreshed every few hours and free to quote with a link back.

    Everything in this section is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). You can quote, screenshot or embed any figure in commercial work as long as you credit TINS HUB and link back to the page. Each page also has a ready-made APA citation in the "Cite this page" block.

    Methodology & licensing

    Figures are hand-curated, not AI-generated. Whenever a stat is added or edited, the source URL is re-fetched and the current published figure plus the year is what ships — no stale numbers carried forward from older drafts. Pages list the date they were last verified at the top, and the source pill under each stat shows the publisher and year.

    Live-signal panels pull from our own trending data — the same feed that powers our public trending pages and embeddable widget. It's refreshed roughly every six hours and free to cite with a link back.

    Spot a broken link or a figure that needs an update? Email us at support@tinshub.com — we re-verify on the same day where we can.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are these statistics free to use in articles, decks or reports?

    Yes. Everything on the statistics pages is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). You can quote individual figures, screenshot a stat card, or embed a section in commercial work as long as you credit TINS HUB and link back to the page you took the figure from. Each page has a ready-made APA citation in the "Cite this page" block.

    How often are the figures updated?

    Each page is reviewed at least quarterly, and the date at the top reflects the last time every figure on that page was re-verified against its primary source. Individual stats are updated sooner whenever the source publisher releases a new report — we re-fetch the source URL before any edit ships, so the year on the citation pill always matches what's currently published.

    Where do the live signal panels come from?

    The live panels pull from our own trending data — the same feed behind our public trending pages and embeddable widget. It's refreshed roughly every six hours and free to cite with a link back.

    Can I embed these statistics on my own site?

    For static figures, the simplest path is to quote the number and link back to the source page. For continuously updating data, our trending widget can be dropped into any site with a single script tag — see our trending page for the embed snippet. Attribution is appreciated but the licence does not require you to ask permission first.

    I spotted a broken source link or an outdated figure. How do I flag it?

    Email us at support@tinshub.com with the page URL and the stat in question. We re-verify on the same day where we can, and we'd rather hear from you than leave a broken citation up.
